The holiday season is coming right up. We are in November. Thanksgiving is very soon. And then it's Christmas. We were just talking in the studio about how Thanksgiving is so late this year that it's just like all of a sudden it's going to be boom, December. Like...

A holiday season's coming up fast. I was saying I might have to get my Christmas tree before Thanksgiving, which I never normally do. But I was thinking the same thing because I'm seeing a lot of chatter about that recently, about people who are like, fuck it, I'm getting a Christmas tree early this year. And I'm like, you know what? Maybe me too. I'm not going to say definitely. I've got to find the time to do it. But potentially me. Potentially. Definitely. But it could be like around that time because I like to have the tree for the full season.

you know, four or five weeks. All of December. You got to soak in the Christmas tree. I have a question for you guys. Have you guys ever watched Mr. Beast videos? Never. I might have watched like one. Not once in my life have I pressed play. I have never seen a Mr. Beast video until last night. I was on YouTube and I was like, you know what?

Let me go to this guy's page. Like he has like 600 million views on videos, 400 million views. Just I'm like, and I've never clicked play on one of these videos. How is that possible? So I'm scrolling. I'm like, let me just watch one. So I clicked one that was like a, this large pizza, like six foot pizza, having to eat it like him and Joey Chestnut and then other people. And I'm like, first of all, Joey Chestnut.

How does he make that happen? Seriously. What? The eating, the competitive eating. How does he do it? Like, you train for it. Logistically, it's like a sport. I'm like, how is that freaking possible? And also, I can't wrap my head around MrBeast's videos and how they have so many views. I don't really get what he...

To be honest, I don't know anything about him. I can't even try and faux talk about it because I don't know anything. All I know is that there was a time he was giving a lot of money away. Well, he's always giving a lot of money away in all his videos, it seems like. And I don't know anything about him as a person. That's all I know is him giving money away. I just know that in all these videos, it's like some sort of competition. Okay, so one video, and this sounds crazy that I'm judging this because he has, like I said, hundreds of billions of views.

But there was one video where it was a guy living in a grocery store and every day that he lived in the grocery store, he would get $10,000. But it wasn't like a random grocery store. It wasn't like your shop right around the corner from you or a freaking stop and shop. It was a grocery store built by Mr. Beast. So I'm like, that makes it way easier to live in the grocery store. If it's a grocery store built by Mr. Beast, all things brought in by him, there's no one else in the store, right?

It's a lot easier to live in it than if you're just throwing this guy in King Cullen. So where does all the money just comes from revenue from from the videos? It has to be for him because he gets hundreds of millions of views. And it's got to be the advertiser, the sponsor. I think that's where he gets all his money from. He also says that he puts most of it back into the videos. Like these videos cost so much to make. Yeah. I mean, he's out here building grocery stores. He built an entire grocery store.

I'm like, these are just, and then there's one video where it's like, okay, random guy, how many items you can fit in this circle? I'll pay for them all. And then it's like, that's the, that's the video, you know?

How old is he? I think he's got to be like... If I had to guess his age, I'm going to say 31. Oh, I was going to say like late 30s. Oh, really? I would guess 31. He's 26 years old. What? Oh. I'm... I was going to say maybe 40. No, like not going to be rude. Like...

He looks older. You know. Yeah, I thought he was a bit older. I was putting him at a solid 31. I would have guessed like 35. It says his net worth is estimated to be 500 million. I'm not surprised. The views on these videos are fucking insane. He has 60 million followers on Instagram. Yeah, he's like the biggest fucking YouTuber. 320 million subscribers. And yet...

The first time I watched a video was last night. Now, he didn't wrote me in as a fan. I also. Yeah. You know, I thought I was going to watch one video and be hooked. Right. I wasn't necessarily hooked. Yeah.

Well, there's 320 million subscribers that are hooked. He's scrambling now. Yeah, right. He's like, what the fuck do I do? What is Rhea like? Rhea from Chicks in the Office that I've never heard of doesn't like my videos. I wouldn't say I don't like them. It's just I thought they were going to be a lot crazier than they were, I guess.

Just from the level of extremities. I only watched a few. I remember I watched the Squid Game when he recreated that. Yeah. He did the solitary confinement for a week or whatever that was. Right, right. Hey, he found an avenue. I feel like it's geared toward probably younger people. It's a lot of... He has a lot of philanthropy involved in what he does of donations. But then...

Was there not also some like scandal that he was involved in recently? People were like trying to cancel him basically. Recently? But it was for like a very ridiculous thing. It was like they were trying to cancel him because he was like helping disabled people or something. Like they're like you're using them or it was something along those lines. Just from this is solely just from his Wikipedia page. Yeah.

Some critics have questioned his motives and ethics. Users on social media have accused him of exploiting poverty for views, deeming his content, quote, charity porn. His philanthropy has been criticized for not addressing the root causes of systemic inequality. In response, he's claimed that he does not profit from Beast's philanthropy or its videos and that all revenue goes towards charity. He has also stressed the importance of the government's role in solving systemic issues.

Well, I just have to say the words charity porn are not two words I've ever heard together. That's what David Dobrik said. That's what they all do. 100%. Right. It's like they're doing good, but they're also profiting from it and they're getting views from it. And hey, I guess it works for him. This is in September 2024. He was one of the subjects of a class action lawsuit that alleged widespread mistreatment, sexual harassment and unpaid expenses and wages. Oh, wow.

There's not really more details to it, so I don't know if that's just like... Damn. If that was quickly dismissed or not actually a big deal. It's like... This is like the smallest paragraph. It's like when I just... And there's no follow-up. When I discover somebody, you know? Yeah, but I don't know if it's even like, you know, if it's even really a thing. It just sounds like... Sometimes I feel like Wikipedia just throws...

it at the end of their, like if there was any kind of controversy or anything on a person's and they just put it on like the last paragraph of their Wikipedia. They usually have like a section for that. It's like scandal. No, that's what it says. I mean, it's his personal life. He was sued by contestants on one of his, the production company. The proposed class action lawsuit accused Mr. Bees' production company and Amazon Studios of chronic mistreatment and sexual harassment of contestants in an upcoming reality show.

The plaintiffs also claim to be considered employees, not contestants, and dispute wages in the lawsuit. Five unnamed contestants in the upcoming Amazon reality show Beast Games are alleging Mr. Beast's production company and Amazon Studios created a toxic and hostile environment that laid the groundwork for sexual harassment, according to the lawsuit. The plaintiffs cite an alleged production guide called How to Succeed in Mr. Beast's Production, which is saying, "...encourages obscenities and direct staff to do everything to help the talent be idiots."

The contestants also claim they were forced to endure unsafe conditions with a lack of access to medical care, food and water, and say they weren't paid a fair wage.

This seems to happen a lot. I can't say I'm surprised. No, with reality shows where people throw together a reality show that's not a reality show that's been around for a while and they don't have the correct... Right, it sounds like you're just building out a totally new show and you have like, it's a much bigger production and you're bringing in a massive production studio into it. And you don't have the right things in place to make this happen and ensure the contestants on the show are taken care of. Yeah, right. Because that happens.

Happened with Love is Blind, no? Right? People, like one of the last seasons, the contestants came out and said that it's happened with a ton of reality shows, really. No, totally. Because that's the nature of a reality show. A lot with Love is Blind, yeah. Production does not care what, or I'm sure they do care, but a lot of times they are looking to make a show and they're going to put people through the extremes to make a show. But that's like the last, there's no update on it.

That was like the, that news came out like last month and they have not, they didn't put out a statement and that's just where they've left it. It appears. That's not great. If you're going to make a show like that, you got to make sure you have the right place. Right. Right.

damn we're ending on a sour note there for mr beast sorry about that i don't think any of that was positive for mr beast yeah i don't think i said it really any besides the amount of views he gets which is really positive for him but that's not positive and i mean enjoy i mean he's got a net worth of estimated net worth of 500 million dollars that's a positive for him yeah um holy but don't forget money ria doesn't get his videos so what's what's worth more

my approval or his 500 million. Or the tricks in the office saying they think those videos make sense. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's unfortunate. You know, I didn't see that all that stuff about his reality show, but that's why when you create a show like that and you know, he has all the money in the world, all the resources in the world, you got to make sure you have the right things in place to make a show though because you got to make sure the contestants are safe if you're doing all of that, which is crazy. But yeah,

Anyways, how are we doing today? That's tough. That was my night last night. I was like watching Mr. B's videos and then I like couldn't stop thinking about how badly I want to make beef stew because I saw, I think it was Hannah G posted that she was making like a roast or something. Oh, I saw that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I just couldn't get beef stew off the brain. Yeah.

What entails a beef stew? Is it just like a soup? Yeah, it's a stew. Beef and vegetables. Well, yeah, there's like celery, onion, garlic, carrots, potatoes, beef. What's the difference between a soup and a stew? I feel like a stew has meat, and that is a total guess. If someone was just to ask me. I feel like it's like if you were to move your spoon through the soup, you're not facing any...

Oh, yeah. You're talking about a viscosity issue. You're saying... I'll look it up. What's your saying? A stew has a thickness to it. Oh, yeah. Okay, okay, okay. It has nothing to do with meat. Generally, stews have less liquid than soups and are much thicker and require long and cooking over low heat. So you were right. You were on the right path. You know when you're like this?

You can't do that with a stew. No, right. The stew, you're getting in the way. There's a lot of things in the stew that are stopping your spoon from moving around. So a stew has a lot of, like there is a liquid involved, but it's not the main component. It seems more like. It's just real hearty in my mind. Yeah, yeah, no, true. And I truly, that makes me feel like a chili is more like a stew. Yeah, I mean, it's not a soup.

I just feel like sometimes you make a chili that does not have a lot. It just depends on... Chili is a stew-like soup. Oh, my God. A stew-like soup? Yes, I found the in-between. I found the middle of the Venn diagram. Yeah. One circle is soup, one circle is stew, but in the middle... Let me tell you, it's chili. You take a little beef out of it, and then it's a chili. If chili is prepared...

By braising meat such as a brisket or a beef chuck. A beef chuck is what you use in a beef stew. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With beans and vegetables added towards the end of cooking, it's considered a stew. Okay, okay. So does a stew just have braised meat? I mean... Listen, we're getting into the complications of what a stew or a soup is. It sounds like you could really do like a potato stew. Let me tell you, my cockles are yearning for a stew.

Your what? My cockles. What the hell is that? Yeah, what is that? Your cockles. What the heck is your cockles? Down here? Your throat. Your cockles. Never heard that before. It warms your cockles. No? No. I mean, I believe you. I mean. It's something I've never heard before. In your, oh. I don't. Never mind. What is it?

The cockles of your heart. That's what it is. I mean, I don't know what that is either. The chambers, the heart has four chambers. And... So you're... The phrase is like, it warms your cockles. Like when you say, it's warming my heart. Right. I truly... But that's like the scientific, like, oh, warming my cockles. Yeah, warms the cockles of your heart. I have to be dead fucking serious with you. I thought cockles were like... Something in your throat. Like your throat.

I've never, it's my first time in my life hearing the term cockles ever, so. I couldn't tell you what it was for. You could tell me. For a second, I thought it was something in your foot. Your cockles? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, no, I... Like it has like a cockle, like it has like a harsh sound to it. Like it's like a bone or something. The cockles of your heart. I really thought it was your throat. Yeah. Because when you eat soup, it's like, oh, this, or hot chocolate, oh, this is warming my cockles. What's a...

Isn't it also like Game of Thrones? Oysters, clams, and cocos. I was like, isn't it also like a shellfish? Yeah, it is. Oysters, clams, and cocos. Yeah. I was like, that's what I'm thinking of for a second. I was like, are we talking clams? That's what Arya does when she's going around the town. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Well,

Well, your little heart and throat will be warmed when you make your beef stew. Yes, I'm going to make a beef stew. Never have before. Wow. Yeah, never have before. Do your mom make beef stew? No. So you're just like, have you ever had beef stew? She just said. She saw Hannah G's video. But I will say this. I was at my aunt's house a couple weeks ago, and she made a beef stew. But I was going home to my house to eat, and she said, oh, try a little bit of this beef stew before you go home. And I had literally one bite of it, and...

I've been craving this beef stew since. I don't think I've ever had a beef stew. Well, guess what? I'll bring an extra. My mom makes a great beef stew. I just have to say. Otherwise, she would be like, why didn't you say it made it? Oh, my God. Yeah. Well, maybe we need her recipe. Yeah, maybe. Well, I'm going to make beef stew tomorrow, Wednesday, and maybe if I have leftovers, I'll bring it in on Thursday. Yeah.

That's another thing I feel like it's one of those things you can put in the fridge and heat up and it's just as good. Yeah. Maybe I'll make a video of me making the beef stew for the first time. Right, because it's one of those things where stews and soups, when they sit for longer, taste even better, you know? Yeah, they do. Like the day two, day three of having a soup in the fridge, heat that bad boy up. Yeah. Yeah.

Or a chili. Like, we had a chili on Sunday. Yesterday, it tasted even better. That's the best. I have a little taste. Soaks in the flavor. It does. It marinates. Yes, it does. I'm a real sucker for anything that involves pouring red wine into it. So, like beef stew, you pour red wine into it. Yep, yep, yep. I pour red wine into my meatballs. Yep. Into my pasta sauce. Yep.

A little red wine goes a long way. It does. It has that nice flavor. All right. Well, anyways, let's get into the rest of the topics for the show. I mean, really, how long can I talk about my beef stew? I'm going to make a video of me making beef stew for the first time, though. Please do. Because it'll be a momentous occasion. Do you put it in a crock pot? I'm doing it on the stove, baby. On the stove, yeah. Yeah. I'm going straight to the stove tomorrow.

Let that bad boy simmer for a few hours. Yeah, I'm going to let that shit simmer. All right. Let's get into the topics for today's episode. Megan Fox. MGK. Big news. I'm having a baby. I keep saying that lately. The kicking and screaming. Yes. It's just like stuck in my head.

I don't think I... Have you ever seen Kicking the Skirt? No, no, no. I have. Pass it to the Italians! I have. No, I have. That reference, I don't specifically remember. You don't remember Beyond Son? Yeah, I remember him. And he's walking around with a soccer ball. Or was it Beans? One of them was walking around with a soccer ball in their stomach going, I'm having a baby!

Maybe it's just because you're not sounding like a child. So I wasn't picturing that. I was picturing like Will Ferrell or something. No, it's either Beans, the guy who plays Beans or Beyonce who does I'm having a baby. Whatever. Megan Fox, MGK are having a baby. Britney Spears reunites with 18 year old son Jaden in L.A. Brit.

Courtney Cartwright said that Jax Taylor did not change. He doesn't believe that he changed while he was in rehab. He's still sending text messages, the whole thing. And we also have the Pop Corner. Hopefully people brought their hot, hot, hot Pop Takes.

for this evening. Could we get a little sound effect when we introduce the popcorn or like popcorn popping on the stove? Yeah. Ooh, I like that. Like a little pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Yeah. And everybody's hot takes are flying in the air. Exactly. I like that. I like the sound of that just as much as I like the sound of some beef stew. All right. Let's get into the topic.

So Megan Fox announced that she is expecting a baby with MGK, I assume, because she attached MGK's song last November to the post. Would be weird if it wasn't. So if it wasn't with him, you know, it'd be quite the choice of a song. And she wrote, nothing's ever really lost. Welcome back. Because as you may not know, Megan Fox and MGK experienced a miscarriage when she was

pregnant last time. But now she wrote, nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back. She posted a picture of herself posing with some black paint all over her body, dripping all over. And the next slide was... It's very Megan Fox MGK. Right. And then the next slide was the positive pregnancy test. I, you know, it's hard to keep up with these two, whether they're together or not together. When Megan Fox went on Call Her Daddy, she talked about the fact that like,

they'll always be like a part of each other's lives. But she wasn't very clear if they'll always be like dating. Right, right, right. It did kind of feel like even like after that interview, it was like, are they together? You know, but...

They are seen together and they don't share too many details these days. I feel like it was a lot like at the beginning. But I mean, this would make a lot of sense on why it's been a little more quiet because if she's announcing it now, I'm assuming that, you know, it's been a few months and that would make a lot more sense.

of taking it easy probably in that first trimester and now they are announcing the pregnancy she wiped her whole Instagram so this is the one and only post on her page right now yeah they did dress up together for Halloween so when I saw that I was like oh they're still together cool yeah yeah yeah they've been very private

recently it would make sense totally now but um absolutely yeah once i saw that they dress up for halloween i was like oh they're they're still together at this point but yeah they're they're having a baby now this is a big good for them you know yeah truly good for them yep congratulations to the both of them and it feels like it was a fate that twin flames would produce

One flame. I was going to say an offspring, and then I felt that felt weird. I feel like mystical for me to say, but it is. I mean, that's twin flames. I do feel like they would call their baby an offspring. That baby's name is going to be something crazy, I feel like. Do you really think so? I kind of don't think so. I don't think so. Well, her name is Megan. His is Colson. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. I feel like it's going to be some astrology thing. Oh, I mean, maybe. It could be, but I guess that wouldn't be too... Like moon. I could see it being like moon. See, I don't even think that's that crazy these days. Yeah, I guess. Megan Fox's sons with Bagg, Austin Green, are Noah, Bodhi, and Journey.

All right. So, you know, we ended with Journey. Yeah, they progressively got it. So it could be headed in, starting at Noah and Bodhi, Journey, we could be getting... Destination? Yeah, yeah, right. We could be getting somewhere in like the, it could be Cosmic, for sure. And I mean, MGK has a, his daughter must be like

Pretty old now. She's a teenager. Probably like 15 or something. I think. So, yeah. Well, no, it's very exciting for them. Yeah, this is just a big congrats to them. Yeah. Really not too much to speculate or talk about them on, but a big congrats to Megan and MGK and more news that they are together. You know who else is having a baby is Erin from Real Housewives of New York. She just announced that she's having a baby as well. Congrats, Erin. Another congratulations to her fourth child as well. Congrats. Yeah. To everybody. I know.

Love it. Okay. Congrats to Britney Spears because she reunited with her 18 year old son, Jaden. Jaden lives in Hawaii, but they reunited in LA. Um, I think, you know, on the outside looking in, you would think you hope that this is a good thing that she is reuniting with her son. Totally. Because for a while it was strange for sure. Um,

One insider revealed to Page Six they have been spending a lot of time together. A second source shares that the 18-year-old has been back in California where his mother lives after moving to Hawaii with his brother, Sean Preston Federline, and their father, Kevin, last year. Jaden is 18 and Sean is 19. So this is the younger brother, I believe. Then Page Six wrote, it's unclear whether Jaden is staying with Spears or

At her house in Thousand Oaks, but we hear Preston still resides in the Aloha State. So Preston, Sean Preston, Preston is still in Hawaii. But the second story says Brittany is thrilled to have her baby back. Everything is moving in the right direction.

This is a good thing for Britney Spears. Yeah. Because obviously her being separated from her kids, I can't imagine, makes her feel great. She obviously wants to be, you know, have a relationship with her kids. And if they're being separated from her, that's not going to make her feel good. It's not going to make her feel normal. She's going to want to be near them. So for them to reunite, have some conversations, hopefully they can continue a good relationship in the future. Yeah, I agree. Because I've always... It's one thing...

as there's been the ups and downs for Brittany, one thing I felt like has always stayed constant was how much she talked about, like, loving her children and really wanting the best for them and protecting them. And I think there, you know, there's been times where maybe, like, the relationship wasn't the best for the kids. I mean, Kevin took the kids and moved to Hawaii. Yeah.

And they had been estranged for years, but there was the stuff with her dad and this, you know, like all that, all that, all that drama. So now that he's like out of the picture too, I feel like hopefully there is a path for reconciliation and in a way that's like smooth sailing, baby steps, you know, like don't rush into anything, baby steps. Like if they're spending time in LA, that sounds great. Maybe. And hopefully her, her,

Preston will come around too. Yeah, they can't just jump all back into being a big happy family. Yeah, no, no. There's too much that has happened in years and years now. So I feel like it's, you know, have some conversations. And we'll never know the context of these conversations unless Brittany gets on Instagram and starts writing about them. Yeah, exactly. When the conservatorship had ended,

Jaden had done an interview in September of 2022. And he had said that he 100% thought that the relationship could be fixed. It's just going to take a lot of time and effort. He had said, I just want her to get better mentally. When she gets better, I really want to see her again. So that's a good sign for how Brittany's doing. Yeah, definitely. And I think there's probably some things that they would really like for her to...

not do as much perhaps the instagrams and such i only i say that because they had mentioned that as well that the boys had had issues with what she was sharing on social media and you know as an really as a as an 18 year old boy fair can't blame you know can't really knock them on that one i think uh i think that's fair to when you're like mom come on

Please. You know, at this point. You have sand in your cooch. Yeah. Right. Exactly. I mean, that's the as super fair. So but Jaden, I guess, had also kind of alluded that maybe they had a better they had always had like a better relationship than Preston and Brittany had had. So if Jaden's coming around now, maybe.

Preston will follow. Yeah, exactly, exactly. But it's such a hard scenario with that family. There's so much that has gone on with... So many layers. So many layers to it. And they're probably like, they just want their mom, but there's just so many different...

you know, people involved and who can they trust? Can they, can they even trust the people that are involved? Can they trust their mom? Like they've, they've been through so much, these kids. Yep. Totally. There's a lot going on there, but moving on to another Brittany, Brittany Cartwright, she talked about Jax Taylor and he, you know, went to rehab for a little bit. I think it was 30 days, um,

And Brittany talked about how she does not think he changed in that time period. And it's not good because there's been no change from Jax. Yeah, Brittany went on the Hot Mike podcast and she said, I don't feel like he changed at all in those 30 days. And the reason, I'm sure it'll be on the show as well, but you know, a lot of rage texting and stuff was still going on the entire time that he was in rehab. Yeah.

That is not good. She said, so for me, I was just noticing like, um, this is just going to be a constant. She said like you, but if you're in therapy seven hours a day and you're still finding time to call me names and cuss me out and send me rage texts, then you're obviously not ever going to change that. She said she was so glad that she ended the marriage. I'm not changing my mind. I'm so happy with this decision. Um,

And the time with him away, too, has now, like, realized how bad it was. And she couldn't stay in it. It was all very, very eye-opening. But, yeah, that's crazy. Like, if you're going to take care of your mental health, you're going into a facility to better yourself. And you're in hours and hours of work. And you're still sending texts, cursing out your ex-wife, rage texts. Like, you're...

Doesn't sound, sounds a little counterproductive. Doesn't sound like you're doing the work. And I feel like somebody should have taken Jax's phone away or put like a lock on Brittany's to block text from Jax. I mean, it's, it's on Jax. It's not on Brittany, but totally, but like not like leave the phone. You don't need the phone. Yeah, no, don't committed to doing the work. We,

Leave your phone behind. If somebody really needs to contact you, they can get in contact with you. Have that set in place. But if you're going to be rage texting while you're, you know, pretending to do the work, which it seems at this point, because if he was doing the work, I don't think he'd be rage texting Brittany while he's in there. Yeah. It's it's

It's just classic Jax Taylor. Like, and when he announced that he was going to go to this and he was working through things and he found out his diagnosis, people were still rooting for him, us included, even though he's terrible. It's like, I want someone to figure out moves in the right direction. I want someone to figure out their mental health. I like that is so important. And to be able to go and figure that out and figure out the reasons of why you treat people a certain way, why you act a certain way.

is a great thing and can really be helpful. But Jax Taylor, if he's not going to take the steps that he needs to do that, and he's just going to continue being Jax Taylor. That's what it sounds like. It just sounds like he can't get out of his own way. He can't help himself. And then at that point, what else can you do? You know, it's like, how much can you try and tell this guy to help himself without then realizing that he's doing this to himself at this point? Like that's the kind of guy Jax Taylor is at this point. Mm hmm.

Totally. But good for Brittany for, you know, standing up for herself and getting out of the situation and putting herself and Cruz first, their kid. And one day, maybe Jax Taylor will learn. Will he? I'm not holding my breath. I mean, I can't believe...

it would, it would make more sense to me if he went to the rehab facility for 30 days. And then when he got out, he started rage texting her again. Right. Right. Like being in the rehab facility, sending the rage text. I'm like, Oh, he really didn't try at all. He really did not try at all. So, uh,

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out on the show because you know Jax is going to spin it in his way and you know Brittany's going to have her story and he's going to try to manipulate the situation like Jax Taylor always does. Totally. All right. That wraps up the topics. Holiday party fails can turn into a great story that ends with a toast over Coors Light.

The world's most refreshing podcast. Yes.

All right, welcome back to the Pop Corner where we're going to listen to your hot takes, your opinions, stuff you want our opinions on. Let's get into it. Give us something good. Give us something juicy. What do we got? Pop, pop, pop.

Hey guys, love the pod. I was just wondering if you could go on a double date with any of these couples, which couple would you choose? Tom Holland and Zendaya, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey, or Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber? Let me know your thoughts. Love y'all. Bye. It's Tom and Zendaya for me. I'm going to go through reasons for each one.

Tom and Zendaya, I just think they'd be a good-ass time. I think they'd be funny. I think they'd be a lot of fun. I think you'd be leaving the dinner going, wow, I had a great time with them. I hope we can hang out with them more often. Taylor and Travis...

They're just so fucking wildly famous. Yeah, right. And I mean, it's just going to the opportunity to go to dinner with Taylor Swift. Right. It's like in just being able to get to see their personalities and it like in a normal setting. Yeah. Really just like out to dinner. I also think they would be a great time. It's fascinating. It would be. It would be more so fascinating than anything else. But I also think they would be a great time.

When it comes to Haley and Justin, there's only one reason why I'd want to go to dinner with them. And that's basically to talk shit after the dinner on how weird Justin Bieber is being at dinner. You know, I feel like Haley would be like really like, you know, pulling it together. She'd be fun. She'd be sweet. She'd be like having a good time. And I feel like Justin would be like kind of, you know, you never know what you're going to get. Yeah. And I think afterwards it would be interesting to discuss. Right. That's fair. That's fair.

Yeah, it would definitely be between the first two. Taylor and Travis, 100%. It's totally just fascinating. But I just think in terms of like, who do I want to sit down and just have a drink with? Even though I kind of think that might be Taylor Swift. Tom Holland just did his whole...

I feel like Tom Holland doesn't drink. No, he just put out non-alcoholic beer. Yeah, he does not drink. Which, you know, that's not saying I wouldn't want to go out on a double date with him for that reason. Deal breaker. You don't need drinks to have fun. I would still want to go out. But in the sense of like,

I would like to have a martini with Tyler Swift. Right. You know? Yeah. Yeah, it's a tough choice between the two. Yeah. The third one, though, I'm just like, just for, just for...

interesting factor. I'd love to know what Justin Bieber's like out to dinner. It's like he'd be out of control. So fair. I think I will be sticking with Tom and Zendaya on my final answer. Okay, guys. I have heard this rumor and it's been talked about on some podcasts where I'm dying to know your guys' opinion on Kristen Cavallari and beat Bobby Flay having a little fling or DM romance. I need to know. All right. Bye.

I did see this because I saw them do a little video together and everyone was like, whoa, the chemistry between Bobby Flay and Kristen Cavallari. Now, as a viewer of Beat Bobby Flay, Bobby is always flirting with the ladies on the show. Whenever they come on the show, the ladies are flirting with Bobby, Bobby's flirting with them. He's a flirt in general. So I feel as if, you know, this weirdly makes sense to me. Bobby Flay and Kristen Cavallari. He stole Ari's wife, Nondra. Yeah, right. He'll steal yours. I mean, it...

It makes sense to me in the sense that Bobby Flay would hit on Kirsten Cavallari. You know? Which he did. He slid in her DMs. But I could see... But, like, I don't think Kirsten... I don't see Kirsten Cavallari entertaining that. I could see Kirsten Cavallari entertaining it for a little bit because she just was with such a younger guy that she might be like, ooh, let me get a little slice of older Bobby Flay. Right. You know? Maybe he could cook her a great meal. Maybe Bobby's like, hey, let's have a date. And I...

I'll cook for you. What are you going to say? No, that would be pretty sick. If you're, if you're a single woman and Bobby Flay wants to, wants to take you on one date and he's like, I'll cook for you. I feel like he'd like close his restaurant down. I mean, I'm saying yes for the meal. Well, they did Kristen's podcast. Um, he'd said that they had been friends for a very long time. So I called her and was like, and said, I want to do your podcast. I think it'll be fun. And, uh, he shared that he slid into Kristen's DMS and she took it the wrong way.

He'd said, you and I had a situation where I was coming to Nashville for literally one day for a meeting. And I was like, who do I know in Nashville? And I DM'd you and I said to you now, I know what words I use specifically because you reminded me. Quote, I'm going to be in Nashville for one night. Can I take you to dinner? He continued. And you literally said something to me like, I'm already dating somebody. But yeah, no, he said, then they got confused.

That she was just like saying that so she didn't have to go on a date with him. Kind of. So Kristen Cavallari was dodging Bobby Flay here. Now listen. Yes. I understand Kristen Cavallari not being interested in Bobby Flay. But...

for the single ladies listening to this show yeah think to yourself if bobby flake reaches out to you and says i'm gonna cook for you not take you out to dinner i'm gonna cook for you you're taking up the offer bobby but like also sorry maybe on your way out if somebody's sliding into my dms and saying can i take you to dinner like i would also interpret that as a date like chris and capillary being like yeah sorry like yeah i thought it was a date like any bobby no it's not a date i just wanted to take you to dinner like it's like

No, that's a date. No, I totally would think it's a date too. And you can try and say it's not a date, Bobby Flay, but you, because of her answer, now you're saying it wasn't a date. Can I take you to dinner? It's like, is it a date? If he said, hey, I'm in Nashville. I don't have any dinner plans. Yep.

You want to maybe grab some food? You want to grab something? I don't know anybody here. You got to word it a different way if it's not a date. Totally. Can I take you to dinner? Can I take you to dinner? Yeah. Can I take you out on a date? Yeah, that's, yeah. Hey, little lady, can I take you out to dinner? Totally. That's what Bobby Flay said. Totally. So they did end up eventually going to dinner. And, you know, they're friends now and whatever. It's fine. But at that initial moment...

I'm sure it was a date. I'm sure it was a great dinner. Um, but yeah, like I said, I would imagine Bobby Flay would 100% want to date Carson Cavallari. I don't know about the other way around. Fair enough. Hi, Rio, Fran and Noah. Um, I'm Avery. Um, first of all, I just went to your Nashville show and it was so awesome. And seeing you guys at Barstool was so cool. But anyways, my pop culture hot take slash question is,

My hot take is that the best Adam Sandler movie is Just Go With It. I just think the plot is good, and Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston can't go wrong. This isn't a hot take. But a lot of people think it's a hot take. I wanted to see your opinion on it, slash what you think the best Adam Sandler movie is. Thanks. See, I love this, but I think this is, like, for girls, I think this is not a hot take. But if you were to, like, say to a dude, like,

just go with this adam sandler's best movie you're oh happy gilmore like you know like they're gonna go like full like naming all those other like more goofy adam sandler movies that that era what's your favorite adam sandler movie would probably be just go with it honestly like i think just go with it is one of my favorites 51st dates is oh 51st date you don't mess with the zohan it's very underrated to me i don't like that one you don't no no click

Click is great. I, you know, I really only watched Click so many times in my life because it made me sob. Yeah. Like, like sob. The first, the first couple of times I saw it. But no, I think. A lot of people say Uncle Jim's if you're trying to speak like. Yeah, no, of course, of course. But like, if she sent that in to New Heights.

I think they would have been like, whoa, what? Yeah, that's true. What? It's not Happy Gilmore? It's not, I mean, why can't I only think of Happy Gilmore right now? Oh, I think mine would be Big Daddy. Big Daddy. Mine might be Big Daddy. Big Daddy's a good one. Longest Yard. Funny People is a good one. Yeah. I'm just saying, like, grown up. Like, they might throw out, like, some. Yeah, I mean, there's some great Adam Sandler movies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Mine might be Big Daddy.

The wedding singer. Big Daddy is the wedding singer. I fucking love the wedding singer too. Oh man. Billy Madison. Billy Madison. That's the other one I was thinking of. Thank you. But I feel like they would go Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison like that. Like grownups, you know, just go with it. I actually really think is my favorite. It's by far the one I've seen the most. I think I've seen just go with it. Then we were going on the most watches.

I've definitely watched Just Go. Probably blended to close seconds. Yeah. I've watched blended a lot, which is, you know, maybe not the best, but it's a personal favorite.

Hi, Rianne, Fran. Love you guys. Love the podcast. So excited for you guys to come to Detroit and bring the podcast there, too. A question I have for you guys is what is your take right now on Bachelor things? We didn't get Bachelor in Paradise this summer. I haven't really been watching the Golden Bachelorette. So just want your takes on what do you see the trajectory of those things?

and are they going to ever bring back Bachelor in Paradise next summer? Love you guys. Bye. I believe they are bringing back Bachelor in Paradise. I think that was announced. I think. Golden Bachelorette, I didn't watch one second of it.

I didn't watch it either. I feel like the Bachelor franchise as a whole has taken a massive hit, I think, from the audience, clearly, by you calling in and kind of having the same opinion as us. It has taken a massive hit. I feel like it's just kind of like... It is returning. It's the same thing over and over again. And...

it's like the last couple episodes right you're roped in right like what happened with jens like you're like oh my god this piece of shit um but sometimes before that the formula being so similar and over and over again and i feel like it was um multiple times a year i feel like it got oversaturated and it might need to it might need to breathe a little bit maybe breathe and have a

they won't is a thing like i just don't like the show will just continue the way it is no matter what i just feel like unless it took a absolute nosedive in viewership like which it really hasn't too badly it's definitely been like a steady decline it has been a steady decline but that's just like i think that's just now like a lot of network tv in general um

But yeah, I mean, look, we're going to roll right into like Grant season, which I feel like not a lot of people have been talking about. It's all about them casting people that no one cares about. It's just the way it goes. Joey's season was so great and everybody was talking about it and then they fucked up Jen's season so bad.

and they're gonna try like I you know I feel like they're gonna try and save it with Grant season but I who knows it was like even Grant was like an interesting pick so um but that's their own fault because they cast a terrible season um for Jen's season so it should be it'll be interesting to see I don't did you guys see I forgot to bring this up did you see Devin back on Instagram

commenting back at girls talking about sasha no oh my god i gotta find these comments where am i gonna find these right now i gotta find them they were like he was like unhinged like it was it was like hey man maybe uh maybe get off social media and like stay off like was he commenting about jen and sasha dating or just as a person but i'm both i'm

Oh, man. Well, he's just got to cut his losses. I mean, he's not with Jen anymore and hasn't been for quite some time. He made it very clear he wanted nothing to do with her. So really, he's got nothing really to say about Jen and Sasha, considering he hadn't. They wanted nothing to do with her. And he made that he made the whole world know he wanted nothing to do with her. So he really can't get back on Instagram and start saying anything about them as a couple.

And what now since she's off the show he feels like he can jump back in and start commenting. Yeah. Because when she was on the show he was he was dead silent.

We had an amazing meet and greet this Saturday in Nashville, all thanks to Rum Haven. Delicious fall cocktail that we had with Rum Haven at our shows at the meet and greet. It tastes so, so good. Everybody was drinking it. Honestly, it was hard to stop because of how delicious these cocktails with Rum Haven are made. And Rum Haven is made with real coconut water and no artificial flavors or preservatives for a clean and refreshing taste. Not flammable.

Somebody wrote on his Instagram post...

Jen found a great guy. His name is Sasha. And Devin then replied saying, Sasha is a girl's name. Oh my God. So is Devin, my guy. That is...

Crazy Somebody wrote Devin is also a girl's name Dylan however was not willing to debate the matter Further adding in a later reply Hey STFU this is my Instagram Devin wrote that? Yeah Oh my god He was spiraling There was multiple comments I wish I took screenshots of them Because there were a lot There were a lot

People know that you can like put your phone down, right? Yeah. Like people don't know that you could just like look and just go like this and just like put it down and then they don't. And you could just, he replied. It's crazy. He replied to one comment that pointed out that pointed out Jen was killing it at the November 9th wicked premiere in Los Angeles alongside Sasha. While Devin was quote spiraling in his comment section, he fired back jobless supporting the jobless. What? Yeah. Oh,

Told you. He lost his shit. It was weird. It was weird. Oh my God, he's out of control. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Completely. Is he calling himself jobless? No, no. He's calling them jobless. He's calling the commenters jobless commenting on the jobless. Sasha and Jen were at the premiere. Well, first of all, that's part of their job.

Devin, you wouldn't know. You never got to make it there to that step because you ended the engagement. Or else you could have possibly been on the red carpet of Wicked. The only other Bachelor-related thing that has really warmed my cockles is Kelsey's dad, Mark, allegedly has been seeing...

Her name is Barbara. Her name is Barbara. I forget where her last name is. But everybody knows her as Deb. It's Grandma Deb from Winter Hill, California.

And they have a blossoming relationship, it appears. She just put out a new TikTok of them doing the little... They're a cute couple. So cute. Love it. Get it, Mark. Yeah. Get it, Barb. Seriously. Hell yeah. Good for them. That's a great pairing. She seems delightful. Yeah. I'm happy about that pairing. Yeah. All right. Moving on.

Hi, Rian, Fran, and Noah. Okay, this is kind of a messy question, so I'll understand if it doesn't make it on the pod, but...

Do you guys have some kind of, like, beef with Nick Viall or the Viall Files? I'm only asking because I feel like before you guys, like, I know you had been on his podcast for, like, Ask Nick before, and he's obviously kind of blown up, I feel like, with, like, reality TV stars now. Like, he seems like he's, like, kind of the go-to for reality stars to, like,

I don't know, give their side of the story. But I just remember there was once, I think last year, where Kelly Keegs was on with Rhea and Fran was gone. And there was kind of some subtle shade thrown at Nick Viall. So I'm just curious if you guys are like...

It's fine. You're just not really like friends or you have any like thoughts on him because he's also kind of controversial himself. Like a lot of people on TikTok are on very opposite sides on his podcast. So just curious your thoughts. We don't have actual beef with Nick Viall. No. At all. No, but I mean, this is a you question. I wasn't here for this reference. Yeah, I actually don't really recall anything.

Honestly, what Kelly said, we don't have beef with Nick Viall. We're actually cool with Nick Viall. I feel like in the past, before we had met Nick, I always made comments about Nick or Kelly made comments. We all made comments about Nick. And then we met and it was kind of like, oh, we'll give a little shit towards Nick still. Nick talks about reality TV a lot. And there's moments when he gets involved where I think we both...

don't agree with some of the things. Or, like, opinions he has, which is so fine. That's... You have a podcast. Like, I'm sure there's things that we say about Bachelor stuff that he wouldn't agree with either, you know? So it's just...

he has becomes his show and like he has become so popular where it is he's thrown out he's thrown out some hot takes sometimes that's like whoa nick right no no for sure i mean there's been plenty plenty of times where he has said stuff that i do not agree with or yeah yeah and i like you said there's probably times where he sees stuff of us that he does not agree with um

But there's no like beef. No, we are like very like super cool in real life. Like totally fine. Yeah, totally fine. I feel like it also stems from like a point where it's like he's obviously crushing it. He gets every reality star on his show. He's located in LA. They come sit down immediately. We're in New York waving like come

come see us you know hey but um no there's no actual beef but I do like throwing in some little comments once in a while there's a little healthy competition yeah and I think he's kind of said like he has said that to our faces before he said that to our faces for sure he was like I see you guys on the charts so I think there's 100% healthy competition there for sure obviously we want the same guests at the same time that's gonna cause some competition but like

Realistically speaking, as people in real life, there's no beef. But I do love throwing little oomphs in there once in a while just for fun, just to keep it light and a little exciting, you know?
